In the field a tripod can become just another encumberance and personally I find it more advantageous to hand hold, then it just becomes a question of stealth and having some faith in the cameras AF system. I have had quite a lot of success even down to 1:1. All it takes is patience and an awful lot of practice.

I hand hold my 400mm f5.6 95% of the time - use a monopod the rest of the time.
